- VARIOS INTERPRETES ACOUSTIC FRANCE
Experience the romance and charm of Paris and the French countryside with Acoustic France, a CD collection featuring contemporary chanson and acoustic pop by established stars and up-and-coming artists from today's thriving French music scene. Inspired by the classic styles of an earlier generation, young artists are borrowing from old-school chanson, folk and Gypsy jazz to create an appealing modern sound. The music captures the ambiance of strolling along the Seine or sipping wine in a cafÃ© on a beautiful summer day. These days, the acoustic singer-songwriter movement of the 60s and 70s is being revived by a new generation of artists. Called the Nouvelle ScÃ¨ne, or New Scene, it includes many of the artists featured on this collection who combine traditional sounding melodies with contemporary attitude. Featured alongside established stars are several exciting artists who have spent much of their lives outside of France. Constance Amiot was raised by French parents in West Africa and the Washington DC area before settling in France a few years ago. Acadian artist Pascal Lejeune's French/English song "Bilingue in Paris" tells of a romantic moment between two lovers in Paris. Rupa & the April Fishes is a San Francisco-based group. Lead singer and songwriter Rupa spent many of her formative years in southern France, where her mother still resides.
